That ugly Henkel Building (and the tagger morons who keep
spraypainting on it) isn't helping our cause either! As you enter from that
direction, it looks like you're driving into some slum zone in the worst part
of the Port of Oakland, rather than into a downtown shopping/dining area.
I've been very disappointed that Henkel is moving so slowly to address this
problem. I thought they'd care enough about their public image to make some
steady progress, but I don't think they give a damn about anything other than
preventing damage to their property. How it looks seems to not concern them a
whit.
